i'm so glad you had the balls to leave your old job. every new video is better than the last.

[@dianea3324]

The conversation between Jake and the crane operator was very entertaining. Great job.

[@rebelranger7208]

Yeah this aspect of viewing and hearing the different interactions I find the most entertaining.

[@rogerdinslage8162]

[@waynegriswold8953]

i liked that the crane operator kept getting out of the crane to take pics! and just let the crane do its thing

[@nanettebarling1222]

That was super cute!

[@davedavis662]

That’s what two seasoned professionals sound like, loved the interaction around safety and best practices. Thanks for sharing.

[@chadsimmons6347]

Back in my day???? We didn't need no fancy crane, the man on the ground caught the log with a baseball glove!

[@thecornishwildcamper]

That has got to be the best crane job I've ever seen. The conversation between you both was great and definitely one to remember.

[@gumwap1]

The honesty to admit that you’re scared doing crane work even after all your experience is commendable. Every time I put saw to wood there’s definitely a moment where I consider how “scary” things could get and how badly things could go wrong. I always try imagine worst case scenario and account for/mitigate it. I’ll be honest and say that I’m a little scared every time I’m cutting big trunk or spar with any consequence. Stay humble, stay safe. Cheers

[@WhiteleyBrandon]

I still get scared every time I get into a tree. I was told if you’re not scared, to quit

[@scotthagapac]

It is so enjoyable to watch and listen to teamwork like this. Not ego driven, collaborative. Both individuals with considerable experience working together and learning from each other.

[@ericmaxwell4161]

I have been cutting trees for over 35 years. Jacob is one of the best I've seen. And he doesn't have a pompous attitude.

[@WRCPNW]

Awesome watching two professionals work together without either of their egos getting in the way. Excellent work!

[@TreeTopVantage]

This is peak tree work content, this has got to be one of my favorites now

[@rgarlinyc]

This vid was absolutely entrancing - I couldn't stop watching and in fact felt it ended too soon! 😀 Thanks a lot Jacob, you've now made me completely addicted to your channel!

[@evannickell2074]

That Peter dude seems like a really cool guy to work for.

[@scotthagapac]

Great recruiting tool for Peter and Seattle Tree Care. I think it shows a good place to work.

[@GuiltyofTreeson]

He may be the kindest man I’ve ever met, he is a wonderful guy to work for

[@perhermann5976]

Swedish chainsaw, Swedish chainslings and hooks, Swedish hooklift and right here a huge fan from Sweden! Great job, nice video and awesome editing as usual. 👍

[@justinbecker1705]

German saws 100% better

[@Fishbowl50]

Bit late but Swedes do make pretty decent bits of kit

[@VegasEdo]

Peter's comment that people have walked all around the area, but not there, for 110 years. Pretty neat moment in time.

[@kathleenlucht1921]

Never have I watched such a first rate video. The equipment was top notch. The people)all) were splendid. Never dreamt a tree would bleed so much sap! The saw caught on 🔥 fire. From the climb to the top to bottom I was riveted!! I could go on and on! Just fantastic!! WOW 🤩!

[@turklayher4794]

That's the best hour of video I think I have ever watched!! Very impressive.

[@maryfluker8268]

Jake and the crane operator are great to great together, two America n men doing their thing 👏. Good to see 👀 👍. I love it.

[@MrUltraworld]

These guys really go out of their way to protect the customer's property. When they leave, it's as if they were never there. Impressive.

[@BitterDemo]

I was a Tree Climber as well as Faller and every position in the business because I owned Ray's Tree and Stump Removal as well as excavation Co.. When I came to the san Francisco Bay area they had never seen a man climb redwoods without a safety harness. I was just a bare rope climber and never used spurs. I rated #5 in a group of ten Tree Surgeons. They places a cap way out on a limb and we had to go out and retrieve it. I was the only climber without a harness. i used a Ginny limb above and walked many of the limbs. i did many line clearance jobs and instead of climbing every pole I would tie a rope around my waist and the top heavy phone cable and walk on the cable below it straddling the phone cable. They took photos of me eating lunch on top of a telephone pole and it went ap. all over the country.

[@Jonathan-bw5oz]

The communication between you guys rallied my own confidence. Crazy! Awesome!

[@stevestock2439]

One of the coolest tree cuts I've seen, completely off the WOW scale!

[@rikspector]

Jacob, About 31/2 years ago my wife and I saw the Giant trees along the Oregon Coast and then worked our way to Yosemite. The size grew and grew until some of the Sequoias we saw were up to 30 FEET in diameter, giant walls and the Redwoods, 20 feet. I remember watching old movies and seeing how those monsters were cut and felled with axes and hauled away with teams of animals. You use a combination of technologies which would have really looked like magic to the old Lumberjacks. Those machines that cut ,from the bottom, or cut and strip or the giant cranes to get aloft would have totally decimated those forests. At least some remote areas of Washington State have been saved. I like your compassion and style, the way you are preserving whatever you can! Cheers, Rik Spector Ferndale, WA

[@dianncharlan5648]

Peter and his crew were amazing!

[@Grandpa600]

I have been involved in some major construction projects over my lifetime, on the engineering side of things, and I can honestly say that I have been really impressed with both your manner and approach to what still is a very, very dangerous way of earning a living, and; by utilising modern methods and equipment, reducing those risks to the minimum. I accept that some tall trees need to go, because of their being adjacent to human habitation, or because they have died, and in danger of becoming a threat to that same humanity: but your team’s approach to those wonders of nature is worthy of a salute.

[@tinmanstavern]

"I'm gonna go to sleep" "oh nevermind, Jake uploaded"

[@bwlyon]

Awesome, video and interaction with the crane operator.

[@Mr2eyedjack]

Good thing you borrowed that Stihl, might have got your nice Husqvarna all dirty! Lol.👍🤪

[@motor2of7]

Those drone shots of you in the tree are something you’ll want to keep to showy your grandkids. Epic!

[@cicikids3035]

What a fantastic collaboration....and the scenery and location just stunning.

[@GTLees]

Well this is evidence of the algorithm getting it right and am I ever glad it chose to recommend this video to me. I had no intentions of watching the whole thing right now, I was just gonna take a peek and if it was interesting I'd watch it later. That idea was quickly abandoned and I watched the whole thing beginning to end and enjoyed every second of it. I hate to see big, beautiful trees being taken down but sometimes it's a necessity and I have certainly enjoyed taking down plenty of big wood myself. I also enjoy driving big trucks and running equipment, so this was deep into my wheelhouse. You folks surely have some way cool gear to get the job done and I truly enjoyed the chatter as well. You all seem like you know what you're doing and that's always a pleasure to watch. That chain set-up is very cool and I've gotta say that I have never seen that much sap pour outta any tree in my life...and I didn't see an insect of any kind in it! Thanks for entertaining me (for an HOUR!! Ooops!!) I'll be subbing and checkin' out some more of what ya have. You guys keep up the good work and play safe!

[@donaldwinfindale1314]

My legs are shaking just watching you.

[@andreykozlyychuk4064]

This was one of the best if it isnt top 5 man😊. Felt special on this end too clicking with them chains the crew and the crane operator man. That was really something as well how much sap and tree yalls cut down

[@dianncharlan5648]

I love the pics and video on this job! Fire and sap! Lucky you were out of the way!

[@drkwlsk]

Excellent footage! Great job Jake. That sap was wicked!

[@avr01]

Thoroughly enjoyed this one! Peter seems like a very cool dude, would love to work for someone like him! Great teamwork out there. Nice work Jake et al.

[@Sweet92879]

The gag to open the video was funny, but the glee on Jake's face when he swung the church door open and fired up the saw was even better.

[@ScottHaun]

both sides of the conversation make this amazing!

[@VIRGONOMICS]

Any guy would be proud to work in such a great environment. Great respect for each other, it shows in their work.

[@Kevin-ex2yb]

Thank you again for another great video. I had a take away from this video that I relate to myself as soon be in the trades/ construction. You guys all felt excited about the work, the tools, the gear, almost as if it was the first time taking it into the field. I love that feeling and I hope you all maintain that for years to come. I always feel sad for people that get jaded and no longer feel that. Feels like they have lost part of their spark. They joy and excitement you all felt for what you were doing really comes through and that makes the video fun and carry weight. Thank you again and stay safe

[@benchildress4309]

THAT WAS GREAT!!!!

[@evelynbarrow3419]

80 years, great grandma, I love this video. You guys are terrific….audio as well as the great pictures ‼️Stay safe!

[@MountainGoatSolid]

I absolutely love the communication all you guys have it makes working so much better and smoother probably doesn't even feel like you are working. Keep up the great work!

[@claytonl.covell2634]

That is one of the best tree removal videos I've seen in a long time. The Hawk then you standing on top. That Rocks!!

[@ronhughes1805]

The entertainment value between you was outstanding. The photography is brilliant and the skills exhibited are just amazing. Thank you for sharing.

[@martingillard6572]

Great series of videos and fantastic collaboration with Peter and the team. Good to see professionals helping each other out.

[@j.d.williams6882]

You guys work really well together, great communication and lots of respect. A lot of guys in this business would love to have a boss speak to them this way. You both have great demeanors. Great job y'all!

[@K-Fred]

OMG...that was a phenomenal series. You and your crew should all get an award for the awesome work. I especially liked the level of communication throughout. Great work Jake!!!

[@Artie1460]

Your videos are so interesting, introducing me to a way of life that was unknown to me! Thank you.

[@robertperren1684]

This is the best one yet loved photo of you and the church

[@darrelljohnson4658]

Good job treatment trees around hair and Oregon we like to see you watch didn't guys do a good job you'll always do keep it going Northwest trees are us over and out

[@glynnpaschall7975]

WOW!!! Standing on top...WOW!!

[@davidedwards2935]

Absolutely perfect guys loved it from start to finish 👍✌😊

[@Misty45-kx3bz]

WOW, that scene with the sap on fire and then the sap streams was worthy of a Hollywood movie, but THEN, seeing the sap gushing out, was crazy. Never saw anything like it. 😮😵‍💫

[@gillesblanchard1699]

I cannot believe it ,this vlog was the most sensuous video I watched! This was just about cutting a tree...however...thank you guys for such a pleasuring time spend with the crew!👍💖

[@pdxwill8524]

It will be a real shame if this tree does not find its way to a quality mill. Then put into the hands of some quality 'makers' who will transform this majestic specimen into its next life , to live on for more generations to come. Good Job Jake and crew!!!

[@w8stral]

No mill will take that wolf tree garbage. Ok, last 20-40 feet is Ok, but even that is going to be pulp. Now if they had measured off a 16' chunk and were actually able to pick it... that could be worth ~$500 at the mill maybe, but they weren't picking pieces that large so... 1MBF is less than $1k right now and this fir does not have good wood at all. Anything cut would be low grade lumber

[@josephwong1697]

Amazing and Awesome job with the crane operator. I love this video. Thanks for your sharing.

[@keithfarmer4854]

What an amazing series! That would definitely be a once in a lifetime tree! Awesome job!

[@jamesspinks716]

I just spent a week camping, coffee was great in your enamel mug. Great to come home to a the second part of this tree video. Thank you.

[@dorisvillalobos4668]

ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT WORK YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME ❤😎🤙💪💪

[@robertforslund5025]

Nice that You use Swedish Chains (y) Gunnebo is on the south-east coast, next train station is Jenny (normally the name of a girl = Jenny Lind ex.) from Jenny there is 3 track line down to Vaestervik harbour as it's both normal and narrow gauge.

[@logger-ke5tx]

Man thats one cool video. Amazing machinery and Guys💪🏻you're making such a good symbiosis with Peter,so nice to watch👌🏻😁

[@ilikerealflight]

Asks to borrow Peter's saw, immediately sets it on fire😂

[@missmacNZ]

This was a great cut. Good communication and Co-ordination . Respect from New Zealand

[@chadfent3987]

Man, the joy from y'all is just contagious. Real harmony brothers and well, joyful to watch. And bonus, fire sap?? Wicked. It's a dirty job man, and I envy you for doing it.

[@eddiephillips2000]

Very nice 'In Memory' at the end there! Awesome respect paid had me tearing up. Truly enjoyed watching all of that awesome teamwork involved in the whole job there.

[@johndunbar2393]

The camera work and editing are on point with this video. Everything is perfect. Just the right amount of everything. Thank you Peter for having Jake along on this job and letting him share it with us. This was absolutely amazing! Great job Jake!

[@johndunbar2393]

Ok, the pictures standing on top of the tree were pretty badass as well.

[@peg9508]

I'm n aww. Nowonder u get paid the big bucks. CT ❤🙏

[@brianjohnston9822]

I am impressed with the sound quality of your sound system, I am not hearing any static, and the transition between speakers is phenomenal. The crane looks like it a shorter radius than my Frontier.

[@LM-sc8lu]

I used to love the challenge of felling trees in tight quarters, although I have to admit I never cut anything this tall. Thirty, maybe forty years ago, I would have gone for it, but at 73, I can only watch and admire. Nice job!!

[@stihlnz]

Good on ya Jake ...that square ground on the 395 ... My life is so easy now. Peter's a top bloke, great crew. excellent comms. And that Grove, what turn radius, and great picks for its size.

[@billrobbins5874]

This was awesome! The respect you all had toward one another in accomplishing this HUGE task is very commendable. Seemed you all had been working as a team for many years. To stand atop that tree, something else indeed. Beat wishes to you all. Hope you'll work together again soon! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@JC-qw5ew]

Jacob, I cannot believe how close our life track has been only 20 years apart. I travel the Midwest climbing trees but mostly climbing towers. I think my tallest tower was 2900 and 190 for a tree. I loved climbing, I didn’t care a tower or tree. There is something cathartic about climbing. Thank you for keeping my 54 year old butt in the air, I won’t climb big anymore but I love watching others and you are up there. If you are in the Midwest let me know I have a shitload of gear

[@lindaarbogast6499]

Wow that was a big job! Jacob you did an amazing job! Climbing up on that tree to do the photo op was a bit nerve racking but glad you are safe on the ground. Beautifully done! Thanks for sharing this with us!

[@Sandra-qs1mi]

Loved the video and the comments between you two guys. I've never seen a tree shower sap. My heart almost stopped when you stood on the tree for the photo. And the stump grinding was icing on the cake! Beautiful church/location.

[@gerbutt]

That was an excellent video and it was great hearing you both so calm. The coms getting rid of shouting made the whole thing look very relaxed. Awesome work chaps 👍

[@rerolley]

That was the best recording of a 2-way conversation over headphones that I have seen/heard. The editing of that must have taken quite a while.

[@GuiltyofTreeson]

Thanks! It probably took me 40 hours to edit this one

[@rerolley]

@@GuiltyofTreeson The effort you put into it really shows.

[@lindataylor6835]

i don't know from cameras boys but what ever you are using WOW , the pictures are amazing !

[@OSHomestead]

Totally awesome job. What a special removal. Thank you!

[@loislewis9900]

Awesome team work!!! Cannot believe you standing on the trunk so high up! No wobble? No wind shear to blow you off? Nerves of steel. Wow.

[@patricialong61]

O my gosh u have me on edge standing on top of that tree but WOW WHAT A PHOTO hope it goes viral so awesome with the church in the photo to.great work.

[@Diesel1999]

Good video series. Maximize profit with climbing it during the wind and not having to pay for the other crane. Lol no safety glasses or screen got lucky there not getting chips in your eyes. Cheers

[@mrgardner6405]

Jake u honestly knew the moment u asked for his 660 ur like yup let's keep mine outa the pine pitch hahaha and then drove that 660 thru some nasty pitch haha u knew don't lie u were keeping the 395 clean

[@Tj-hw2ql]

This was so great to watch. Such a cool tree, location and crew.

[@jetobey5656]

Jacob, you are a true MASTER !! Also, Peter seems to be a great man to work with---good communication.

That was a really cool video! Thank you for sharing, Jacob!

[@131dyana]

All of you did a great job there Thanks.

[@timbruns3818]

EPIC !!! Camaraderie was outstanding. Amazing work gentleman. The amount of sap that drained from that tree was incredible, I personally have never seen that much sap before. Thank You For The Amazing Video. * 2-27-2024 Lake Stevens Washington. PS; you standing on top of that tree made my own knees a little weak !!! DANG.

[@darrinpelham144]

The fact that you go and thank each of the team members is so cool of you and I have never seen so much sap come out of a tree. Great work all of you.

[@muppetbrother]

its so great to watch pros at work. seamless and you make it look easy. like all professionals

[@lionbill]

Great Jog You Guys . . . I really enjoyed watching you two working together!

[@kathleenonda1879]

I enjoyed this video immensely thank you guy for sharing your jobs with us

[@reganmahoney8264]

It’s great seeing you working with Peter again after that great series you did on that island with him and his crew.

[@davidpalmer3015]

Enjoyable and educational…very well done. No, extraordinarily well done! Thank you 👍🏻

[@t.r.766]

Nice job by the crane operator to reposition you so he can swing away from you. Great setup with the radio technology. In my day it was all hand signals with me on the ground and my lead climber 40yrs taking it down. My crane op said Eddie was by far the fastest and safest he’s worked with. Oh the fat sticks you could make with one round. Great job on the documentation.

[@lewissilverman7697]

Production quality is top notch! Really well done flipping perspective with the cameras and hear the conversations that way. Haven't seen it done like that before and I'm really impressed and the time it must have taken. Brilliant.

[@thinchey3]

Glad we have these

[@destinationom]

love the comraderie and communications! Fantastic coverage!

[@samuellancaster3789]

Hey Jake you guys do a great job as a tree man myself I have total admiration and respect way2go keep up the good work and stay safe and healthy I hope you make a boatload of money I wish you all the best keep looking up
